From the church up to the forest, along the stations of the cross to the "Jagabild." The legend tells that Chief Hunter Greiner fell into the hands of poachers. They tied him head down over an anthill to a beech tree. In desperation, he prayed to the Virgin Mary. A white stag bit through the ropes and saved him from death. In gratitude, he erected a picture of the Virgin Mary. Later, a chapel was built. It takes about 20 minutes to the summit of the Haugstein, the highest elevation in the Alpine foothills (895 m). To the right of the chapel, a forest path leads to the district road, then right toward Zigeunerbrunn and then left down to the quarry. Through the forest it goes downhill to Engelhartszell.Tip:
